Press Release (ePRNews.com) - MADISON, Wis. - Apr 25, 2017 - HighFive Health, a software company offering cutting-edge tools for medication management, today named Sal Braico as Chief Executive Officer. Keith Streckenbach, HighFive’s co-founder and previous CEO, will continue as a member of its board of directors.

“We’re excited to have Sal lead our team. He brings a highly relevant mix of pharmacy and startup experience. Sal has a passion for healthcare and a track record of leadership with growing companies,” said Ravi Kalla, HighFive’s co-founder and chairman and head of SymphonyAlpha Ventures.

As former Chief Operating Officer of Mallatt’s Pharmacy, Sal brings vital pharmacy-industry knowledge and connections to the role. Prior to Mallatt’s, Sal was a dynamic player in the Madison startup community as a founder and CEO of Flex Biomedical and as Chief Operating Officer of ConjuGon, both startup biomedical companies.
